What happened
Reached its target in 69 days.
The thesis — published November 5, 2025
Quarterly results were solid, with record $17.6B sales and a $39.8B pile of orders, so work is lined up. After a broad drop led by tech names, this stock could rebound if interest rates calm down. Price momentum looks better and news has repeated the strength seen in October. We prefer buying on small pullbacks, aiming for the trend to resume as roads, energy, and mining projects keep orders coming.
Primary drivers
- Record sales and a $39.8B backlog point to strong ongoing demand.
- Drop looks overdone, and buying momentum appears to be improving.
- Economy sensitive stocks could rise if interest rates settle down.
- Recent reports back the strong October jump and steady order momentum.
